Naming Day

A Naming Day is a ceremonial event in the Exodus Fleet that takes place when newborn children are officially registered. The event is officiated by an Archivist and generally takes place when the child is 40 Solar days of age. It includes a traditional speech, the entering of the child's footprint into the Fleet's systems, and a feast.

In Record of a Spaceborn Few, both Isabel and Kip officiate a Naming Day.

Naming traditions
In the Fleet, people take the name of the house they are born into. When a partner moves in, they also take this name. If people decide to move out and start a family, they take the name of the house they move into.
